"Grimm" Tales
Chapter
1:What a bedtime story?
"Sarah! I've told you this a
thousand times before, don't leave your stuff in the hallway. And," Karen took
a deep exasperated sigh, "You never did the dishes or the laundry!"
Sarah
glared at her step mom. "What makes you think I'm going to do anything you
say?! Your not my mother, I don't have to listen to you!"
"Your
father and I come home from a hectic day at the office and only want to come
home to a house a little nicer then a pigsty. We expect so little of you, yet
you seem to make everything worse!"
After a
long, harsh battle that ended with a screamed "I hate you!" from Sarah's mouth,
Karen stared at the mess that Sarah had left on the floor. A small book, a
white sheet; which she knew Sarah always used as a prop when she was acting, a
crown of flowers, and her black flip flop sandals.
"I wonder
what she reads that makes her act like I'm an evil step mom from a fairy tale?"
Karen wondered, as she bent down and grabbed the book that was sprawled out
before her.
"Grimm
Fairy Tales" She read off the cover, and opened the book to a random page,
which she began to read. "The Juniper Tree" was the title of the story and as
Sarah's step mom read the story, it was like evil took over her being and
planted thoughts of hatred and death in her head.
With a dark
gleam in her eye, Karen set the book down and looked towards Sarah's room,
which she occupied and said, "You treat me like a wicked step mom from a story,
now I shall act like one." Karen let out a villainous laugh as she began to
plot the plan that was brewing in her mind.
